Joe_Drogan420 - lol @ all the UG'ers saying GSP would outbox Nick Diaz in that thread a couple days ago.

Guess all you keyboard warriors know boxing better than Roach.

I realize it might be a revelation to you, but sometimes. juuuuuuust sometimes, a trainer might not tell you the truth, or all of it, just before a fight with his fighter.

i mean, it's not rocket science. He might very well say something exactly the opposite of the truth, hoping the other fighter will buy into it, and attack something he's sadly mistaken about

Yeah, you're probably right.I mean when I think about it, Freddie Roach, a boxing trainer who trains boxers everyday and talks and analyzes boxer's skills everyday. Talks about how fights are going to go down analytically in the stand-up department. Who suffers from Parkinson's and hasn't extensively worked with or coached GSP is going to try to get into Diaz's mind by saying that GSP isn't good enough to stand with Diaz?

Sure, he could've said that GSP has really worked on his exchanging hooks in the pocket, or has extensively worked on adding uppercuts to his arsenal. You know, to deflect Nick. Or he could have used his analytical skills to break down where Diaz has the advantage, albeitly giving away GSP's advantage. But instead he chose to say that GSP needs to work on his boxing more before engages Diaz in the stand up.

Great work by GSP's camp to get this misinformation campaign going.And when you consider how often Diaz frequents the internet it really starts to make a lot of sense.

Good work guys.

No I'm sure you're right, the boxing coach is going to say he's not going to stand and box with him.

Brilliant.

I think a lot of other trainers should honestly say what a fighter's gameplan will be. Even after CLEARLY saying he wouldn't.

Im gonna guess allot of you also thought nick diaz beat condit... Cause condit is definitely a better striker then diaz and look what gsp did to him. And there is no way diaz will land anything near that head kick

What? He always has different gameplans. For guys like Hardy/Alves he'll take them down early and often. For Shields it was to stand the first 4.5 minutes of each round. That was pretty much a straight stand up fight. For BJ it was to immediately clinch and put him against the fence to tire his arms/shoulders out and take away his boxing.

Ok ill concede he changes his gameplan to a degree.

I still don't think there's a mystery as to what GSP is going to come out and do in this fight.

If he stands with Nick for the majority of each round, if thats his gameplan. I believe he'll lose but we all know the majority of this fight will be spent on the ground.

If it ends up a striking affair everyone should be happy no matter who wins but just I don't see GSP attempting that.

the fact is that diaz has been saying hed whip georges ass in mma for 6 years and now we are gonna see him get his mouth shut and possibly his career ended for it. this is a classic case of letting your mouth write a check that your ass cant cash. it doesnt matter that roach was being the nice guy he is and tried to stroke nicks ego a little bit. maybe he sees it as nick might want to come to his gym one day where he can get some solid advice and freddy can make a few bucks?
